College Football This week's game for the Wolverines is just another must game, except, this week the opponent will be conference leader Purdue. If the ouija board is correct, Michigan should win by at least 12 points. Other conference games on this week's slate are: Illinois at Minnesota Ohio State at Indiana Wisconsin at Iowa Michigan State at Northwestern Key games around the country are: Georgia-Auburn. If Georgia wins the game, they will represent the conference as the host team in the Sugar Bowl, no matter what Alabama does against Auburn Dec. 2. "I'd rather beat Auburn than go.to ten bowls," contends Alabama coach Bear Bryant. Southern Cal-UCLA should decide the Pac-14 representative in the Rose Bowl. Notre Dame-Georgia Tech, Missouri-Nebraska, and Oklahoma- Oklahoma State should all be good battles for the bowl-bound teams. Pro Football Can anything stop the awesome offense of the Lions (34 points last week)? Yes, this week it will be the stumbling Raiders. The crystal ball sees plenty of upsets this week: Buffalo over Tampa Bay New Orleans over Dallas CLEMSON, MARYLAND TO BA TTLE IT OUT It's down to two in Atlantic Coas By KENNETH CHOTINER Throughout the 1978 football season, the Atlantic Coast Conference has been dominated by two powerhouses-the Clemson Tigers and the Maryland Terrapins. Both teams are undefeated within the conference and both have lost just one intersectional game. The real test of their superiority in the ACC will come this Saturday afteroon when the two teams collide at University Park, Maryland. CLEMSON (8-1 overall and 5-0 in the league) will finish its season with in- trastate rival South Carolina one week later. This will be Maryland's (9-1,. 5-0) last game of the season unless the Ter- ps are invited to a bowl. The two teams line up with excellent players. Quarterbacking for Clemson is senior Steve Fuller. Last season Fuller, who was named ACC player-of-the- year, completed 100 of 205 passes for 1,665 yards and eight touchdowns in leading the Tigers to their first bowl game (Gator vs. Pittsburgh) in over a decade. Fuller is equally impressive this year enough yards to rank him 18th in the country in total offense. MARYLAND FEATURES tailback Steve Atkins who is the Terps career A.C.C. Standings three to six points in this game. A win would give Maryland undisputed possession of first place and ant4ier excellent chance to, go to a bowl. Last year the Terrapins defeated Minnesota in the inaugural Hall of Fame Bowl. " The other teams in the ACC are mathematically out of the race. North Carolina State and Duke are the closest teams to the two co-leaders, but they are only 2-2 in the league. AFTER THE 1977 season, four ACC teams went "bowling." Besides Maryland and Clemson, N. C. State played in the Peach Bowl and North Carolina competed in the Liberty Bowl. This year it appears that only the con- ference champion will go see post- season action, and possibly the runner up. "No bowl has definitely been decided on," said Clemson coach Charley Pell, "but the winner of this game will most likely go to either the Gator Bowl or the Fiesta Bowl."

Another senior, Tim O'Hare, has proven himself a capable quarterback and set a Maryland record for 324 yards total of- fense in a game. Although both teams are similar in many ways, the Terps are favored by Jr$ACO RUTEMENTIC MEXICAN FOOD 3 Minutes from the Union Not fast food-Just great food served quickly Eat In or Carry Out II a.m.-i 1 p.m. Mon-Thurs p.m.-l I p.m. Sun, I1 a.m.-12 a.m. Fri. & Sat..

On the bright side, Earl Tatum has recovered from a sprained wrist and should play in Wednesday's home game with the Lakers. P.S. The Pistons also play the Phoenix Suns on Saturday in the Silver- dome. Pro Hockey After taking a rest for a few games, the Montreal Canadiens have" begun to play the kind of hockey that is expected of them. This means the Red Wings might have to content with second place at best. The Wings travel to Atlanta for a Wednesday.snight encounter before coming home to play the Sabres. College Sports In hockey, the Wolverines host number one ranked Denver at Yost Arena. The top ten rated teams in the nation are presently: (1) Denver with 92 points, (2) Boston University with 78, (3) Minnesota-75, (4) North :Dakota-59, (5) Bowling Green-49, (6) Notre Dame-46, (7) Wisconsin-42, (8) Michigan Tech-31, (9) Cornell-20, and (10) Tie-Minnesota Duluth and ,New Hampshire with 14 points. Michigan, Northern Michigan, and Providence all received points. WCHA games this week are: Michigan State at Notre Dame, Michigan Tech at Colorado, Wisconsin at North Dakota and Minnesota at Minnesota-Duluth. Th Michigan women's volleyball team has been voted in as one of the ,eams in this week's regional tournament in Illinois. This will be the first ap- pearance in the regionals for the Wolverine netters, who ended up third in the state behind Central Michigan and Michigan State. The Michigan basketball team opens its season with an exhibition game with Windsor this Saturday at 8:05 in Crisler. Well that wraps it up. I hope you didn't miss too much. -PETE LEININGER M TOTAL FIRST DOWNS ............ Rushing ......................... Passing ...................... Penalty......................

The top four of the '14 teams that ran the 10,000 meter course in Minneapolis will be sent to the National Championships by funding from the NCAA. The first place team came as no sur- prise as the favored Wisconsin striders soared to an easy victory over second place Indiana with 65 points and third place Minnesota with 103 points., Michigan rounded out the top four with 110 points. Despite a temperature of 32 degrees and icy 20 mile per hour winds, Wisconisn's Steve Lacy placed first among 107 finishers at 30:18.1. Doug Sweazy came in first for Michigan in the 13th spot at 31:13.6. Michigan's Dan Heikkinen placed 15th at 31:16, followed by Dave Lewis in the 23rd spot at 31:27.4, Bruce McFee in the 28th spot at 31:38.5 and Steve Elliott in the 31st spot at 31:41. "We've had three different men place number one for us," commented coach Ron Warhurst. "Elliott, Heikkinen and now Sweazy have all been our top men." Warhurst was also pleased that there was only a 28 second split between his top five men. "If we can run like that at the Nationals, just placing a little higher, we can make the top ten," he speculated. "Basically, that's what we're shooting for, the top ten, but we can't make any mistakes if we're going to make it there." 207 EAST LIBERTY ST TELEPHONE 663-8611 OPEN MON-FRI 9:30-6:00 SAT 9:00-5:30 --------- ------- - 11.AGL\QJLQ91AIIAIirCMPANY' I SPECIALISTS in " * Perms: Curly, Wavy, f .This month receive a I & Relaxers 10% DISCOUNT "' Precision Cuts ~1% DSO N "CPr Ctson all services e ColorI * Color Correction " Facial & Nails (OFFER GOOD ONLY * Press & Curls ..
